When choosing the "Quote" selection, you will be shown a page where you can request different quantities of an item, input your name, and send an optional message with more information. Quotes are sent directly to your vendor or partner.
How to select products and files
From the product overview use the switches to make your selection. You will see a summary of your selection on the download icon. You can also review your selection here.
You can also enter a product detail page and from there add an individual product to your selection, or simply download information about this one product.
Don't worry, the previous selection you have made will stick around and once you have selected an individual product from a product details page, and you would like to navigate back to the product overview, the product will also still be selected.
You can also go to individual files and download them directly using the direct download arrow icon.

To finalize your download, provide an email address where the information will be sent. Then click "Download." Your content will be packaged up and sent to you via email with a link that will expire after a period of time.
